Featured projects

A selection of key projects that reflect the work I have led across community engagement, cultural inclusion, placemaking, social inclusion and belonging within government till July 2025 and since establishing Belonging Co in August 2025.

I was awarded the 2022 NSW Planning Daring Award for leading for this, and it paved the way for future creative activations to be daring.

Place activation and exhibitions

Activating public spaces to support engagement and impact on social and cultural inclusion is a very useful approach. Over the years, I have activated public places to bring people together and to engage on inclusion and belonging.

  • Public space activation to talk to people and communities about inclusion and belonging.

  • Getting communities involved in activating public places.

  • Partnerships with disability and multicultural organisations.

  • Partnerships with artists to activate public spaces.
